The Catholic Youth Bible

For young Catholics, this is one of the easiest to read Bibles published today. I distributed several to my students who had no interest in the Bible as well as to my grandchildren. The feedback has been: It's so easy to read and understand! Further, I would highly recommend this Bible for adults who have problems reading and/or understanding the more adult Bibles. It is my opinion no one can be misled in this review as to how valuable this Bible is to have in one's home.^M

Excellent multicultural connections

I just wanted to say that for me one of the things that really makes this Bible stand out is how it shows the similarities other cultures and religions have found in their quest for the truth. It points out beautiful beliefs and ideas from Asia, Native America, Africa etc. I think this is wonderful because it helps Christians relate to people who may not share exactly the same beliefs but essentially esteem the same values. I think it's important for us to remember when trying to spread the Gospel that Jesus didn't preach to people without first sparking their interest in a subtle way wether through actions or comforting words. In today's world beliefs can be a cause of separation but LOVE is the universal language that all religions worthy of the name can understand. I was given this Bible as a gift and had been thinking of getting a Douay/Jerusalem Bible, but I kept this one particularly for the Multicultural links and the other notes as well.^M

Great for adults!

I am 34 years old and this book was recommended to me by my Mother-In-Law 50+ and another friend 50+. So I highly recommend this Bible for any age. Makes the Bible so easy to understand...I love it!
